Of Course, Monks RM is a Dessert Island Disc. But this version, oh its very special... It has a real hairs stand on end quality about it. Amazing production, the Drama of the intro, then Joe comes in, all wrapped up in those strings, very haunting. Even Joe's style, he's so percussive, hitting those keys, not carressing them, so Monk Perfect, just perfect
Joe Jackson you have the soul of a true jazz man. Great song, great keyboards.
Beautiful rendition of a standard. Great lyrics and melody. Joe is a talented and varied musician.
I fell in love with this version of the song. Now, this song is one of my favorites.
This is music , you just have to listen to , i close my eyes lean back and just listen ..................................wauw....!
I was floored when I heard this and still to this day of the craftmanship and time that was put into this master piece.
Beautiful version. I was expecting him to sing it, too, but am glad he left it this way.
This was a fantastic album. To take a bunch of alternative rock (at the time)artists, and turn them loose on Monk. A lot of pleasant surprises
the maestro .....Joe Jackson....wonderful version
absolutely divine rendition of one of my all time favourite compositions

heart strings tugged.... right up there with " almost blue".
wonderful Joe
"new wave" should be "New Wave." Love this stuff; romanced to it in my 20s and 30s. With the same guy!
This is a awesome version and a contribute to Monk.
Exquisite! Thanks for the upload!
Yeah! Nice take on this tune.
The Angry Young Men of the British new wave were extremely diverse and musically aware. Remember Elvis Costello's "My Funny Valentine"?
JOE does MONK ...and the results are GLORIOUS!! haha. ; o )
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
Meravigliosa interpretazione 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Lovely piano, Joe.
Floor 110. That's where i get off. Great tune though. Monk and Mingus still amungus.
Wow, did not know this one, thanks !!!
an unexpected trbute
Just count the gong beats ... from 12 in the intro to 1 in the outro.
Wish Joe Jackson would have done a tribute to Bud Powell.
nice NICE!
Begining like "Rose" Saint Jhn ;-)
Can u imagine that Joe used to play grunge?
Any fool can play grunge. No fool can play this.
Either you don't know "grunge" or you don't know Joe Jackson. JJ"s music has ALWAYS had a sophistication that NO grunge has ever had.
